The association of serum leptin with anthropometric indices, lipid metabolism and inflammatory biomarkers in patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing dialysis
Abstract:Introduction: Introduction: The close link between leptin and kidney function is now concerned that a significant increase in the level of bioactive form of leptin in progressive kidney injuries has been recently revealed. Objectives: This study assessed the levels of leptin and its main determinants among endstage renal disease (ESRD) patients on hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.
